The proposed waiver of database rights that was to accompany the move from 3.0 to 4.0 was one of the sticking points, I believe. To quote:
Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.

Hi Strainu, I can't find the previous discussions.Could you please provide a link to
the public consultations (or proposal) you mentioned to allow people on this list have a clear understanding of what was discussed?

Hi,
A few years ago there was a public consultation on moving the Wikimedia
license to cc-by-sa-4.0 instead of 3.0. Now, obviously that never happened but I couldn't find the decision documented anywhere. Why was the proposal scrapped? Are there any plans to revisit this?
